PRECAUTIONS

7

E

OK

• Handle with care when carrying the monitor

Note that the monitor is heavier at the front than at the rear. Do

not move it alone. Always work with another person.

The screen is optically coated to reduce glare. Keep hard objects

(such as buttons, tie pins, and other clothing accessories) away

from the screen surface to prevent scratches.

• Set the monitor in an appropriate location.

*Do not install in a dusty or humid environment.

*Do not place in a location where light shines directly on the

screen.

*Do not place near heat generating devices or a humidifier.

• Use an easily accessible power outlet.

This will ensure that you can disconnect the power quickly in

case of a problem.

• Do not sit on the cabinet or place any heavy objects on the

cabinet.

A unit with heavy objects on it may fall or be damaged and

result in injury.

• Do not block the ventilation slots on the cabinet.

*Do not place books or any other papers on the ventilation

slots.

*Do not install the monitor in a closed space.

*Do not use the monitor laying down or upside down.

*Do not remove the tilt-swivel stand.

Using the monitor in this way blocks the ventilation slots and

prevents proper airflow, leading to fire or other damage.

• Do not remove the tilt-swivel stand.

The stand is required to maintain clearance for the ventilation

slots on the bottom of the cabinet. Removing the stand will

block these slots and may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch the plug with wet hands.

Touching the plug with wet hands is dangerous and can cause

electrical shock.

• At the end of the day or if you plan to leave the monitor

unused for an extended period, after turning off the power

switch disconnect the power cord from the wall socket so

that no power connections are made.

• Unplug the monitor before cleaning it.

Cleaning the monitor while it is plugged into a power outlet may

result in electric shock.

PRECAUTIONS

For users of the EIZO optional

i

·Sound™ sound

unit and

i

·Station™ USB hub

• When adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor,

do not do so by handling the sound unit or USB

hub.

Adjusting the monitor in this way may break the unit or

cause bodily injury.

Others

• Do not install the monitor within an area subject to strong

magnetic fields (for example, in the vicinity of a speaker,

except the optional i·Sound

unit, or a high-voltage

transformer). Magnetic fields can cause noise, image

shaking, and other distortions.

• Generally, for maximum viewing comfort position the

monitor slightly below eye level. Staring at the monitor

for prolonged periods can cause eye strain. Be sure to take

adequate rests. (A 10-minute rest period each hour is

suggested.)

• Do not remove the covers to the power terminal for the

optional i·Sound speaker unit for any reason except to

attach the unit.
